[Verse 1]

I'm walking on a tightrope

Fifteen below the floor

I see a red light glowing

She's standing by the door

I can't hear what she's saying

Resolute now to ignore

I'll stand there, ask that question

"What was it all for?"


[Pre- Chorus]

Yeah, I tried to be someone

Someone that you would always want

Yeah, I tried to have hope

But now it's gone


[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do but say goodbye

We all fall down like

There's nothing left to lose

There's nothing left to choose so say goodbye

We all fall down like


[Verse 2]

I feel her hand now slipping

Did I hold on way too long?

I'm smoke and mirror-tripping

Oh, I've seen that trope before

I can't hear what she's saying

Resolute now to ignore

I stand there, ask that question

"What was it all for?"


[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, I tried to be someone

Someone that you would always want

Yeah, I tried to have hope

But now it's gone


[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do but say goodbye

We all fall down like

There's nothing left to lose

There's nothing left to choose so say goodbye

We all fall down like


[Bridge]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh


[Chorus]

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do but say goodbye

We all fall down like

There's nothing left to lose

There's nothing left to choose so say goodbye

We all fall down like (We all fall down like)

We all fall down like (We all fall down like)

We all fall down like (We all fall down like)

We all fall down like (We all fall down like)


[Outro]

We all fall down like
